On the New York set of the film Hide and Seek, ten-year-old Dakota Fanning spends her time playing a deeply disturbed girl who deals with her mother's suicide (自杀) by creating an imaginary friend, who may not frighten her family.

Today, though, she has the day off. "This week I only worked two days,"says Fanning, sitting in a sofa in her hotel's library, "but I get bored when I'm not working. Especially because it's cold here and I can't do anything, you know? So, I've been knitting (编织) --- all day, every day."The actress, who's held her own opposite Oscar winners such as Sean Penn and Denzel Washington, recently mastered the fine art of scarves (围巾). Though she's about ready to move on to hats, she first plans to make a souvenir (纪念品) scarf for Robert De Niro, who plays her father in the film. "He's the nicest guy you'd ever meet in your entire life,"she says, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I would make him a brown one.”

Like any other fifth-grader, Fanning spends several hours a day going to school. In addition to her personal trailer (活动住房) --- which is kept well-supplied with hot chocolate packets, lemon Gatorade, and a TV that doesn't always work --- she has another trailer where her teacher, Jan, conducts classes in history, spelling, reading, math, science and health. "We have this big board where we have a calendar (日历),"Fanning says. "When we were here in January, I wrote the calendar in all blue. February was red, and March was green.”

On this particular morning, she had a spelling test. "There was a topic for each of the word lists,"she says, sitting on her knees. "This one was flowers --- they were all names like oxygen, carbon dioxide, chrysanthemum (菊花)..."Chrysanthemum? "Well, they didn't make me spell that one. They just had me fill in the ‘e'. But I can spell it: c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.”

Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another.
                                                                                         -Marquis de Condorcet
     If you took the strengths of others, and compared them to your weaknesses, do you think this would make
you feel good? The funny thing is, this is   1   most of us do at one time or another-and some of us do pretty
  2 .
     It's surely a practice for a   3 in self-confidence and for unhappiness. Let's say I take a look at someone
who creates   4 artwork on their website and I look at my art, and realize I don't come   5 to being matched
with him. In fact, I look pretty pitiful. But it's not a fair   6 . If I looked at my strengths-writing useful and
honest posts-I can see that I have a lot to offer, a lot to be happy about.
     That's so important-being able to look at your own strengths, and see your true   7 . It's actually one of the
  8 to success and happiness.
   I want to talk about this issue   9 an email from a reader recently: I have some teammates from very rich
families. I can't stop myself comparing my lifestyle with 10 . I must say that my  11 planning is sound enough
to take care of my existing family; and I can take care of new family member also, at least for  12  even if I
lose my current job. But  13 I see or hear them spending so much money after possessions, I start comparing
  14  . How can I stop this habit, without changing jobs?
     This is an excellent but tough  15 . I think it's  16   to compare ourselves to others, but it often makes us
unhappy even if we have enough and  17  be happy with what we have. My quick advice: try to be aware of
when you start comparing yourself to others ...once you've developed this  18 , stop yourself and tell yourself,
"Stop that!” And then  19   thinking about all the things you do have, the things you love, the people you have
and the blessings that  20  has given you. Make this a regular practice, and you'll start to be happier with your
life.

Municipal(市政府) regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.

There’s no more room to bury the dead, they can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.

A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered a preservation area.

Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants(居民), not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarildo do Prado, an unemployed resident said.

The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant to the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts”. However, it does not say what the punishment will be.

44. What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?

A. Ban on smoking in public places.

B. Ban on parking in certain zones.

C. Prohibiting residents from dying early.

D. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.

45. What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that”?

A. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have nothing of these regulations.

B. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.

C. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.

D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.

46. What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?

A. He objects to them.

B. He gives strong backing to them.

C. He asks the residents for advice on them.

D. He remains silent about them.

47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.

B. The residents of the town sing the praises of the bill.

C. The government is going to change the environmental decree.

D. No better resolution of the problem has been thought out.
